Simmons about to get that triple double though

How the fuck is this dude even averaging 13pts

every game he goes 2/7 and fucking misses 5 wide open 3's

Sixers are better in basically every offensive stat with him on the floor with every lineup and his numbers with Embiid sharing the floor are the best in the NBA

The starters just suck ass when they all play together.

simmons was great attacking the basket tonight, but there were so many times he got the ball wide open with less than 10 on the shot clock where he doesnt look to shoot and instead forces a pass which causes his teammates to force a bad shot or turn it over.

O'Neal says Embiid could be that dominant force, but only if he eschews the 3-point line and backs his man into the paint instead.

Dominance, in this context, is shaking the rim and bludgeoning an opponent in the paint.

But the game is changing, Embiid counters, and big men need to be able to face up and shoot the ball, put it on the floor, and act as a facilitator when they're double-teamed.

"We need to be able to do everything on the basketball court," Embiid says. "That's what I've been trying to do, to kind of change the narrative around big men."

Brown insists he hasn't abandoned using Embiid in the post and claims his goal is for him to have at least 15 touches a game from there. That's a fine strategy for the Sixers, but the 29 other teams do not have a Joel Embiid at their disposal.

Hope you guys are enjoying “Average Al” and his 30 million

76ers say Joel Embiid has torn ligament in left hand, to have surgery, out 1-2 weeks

Enjoyed him last night daddy dicking the Celtics while Embiid was out lol!!

those old guys are so damn stupid

they expect embiid to post up 100% and just back people down when zone defense is now being played and he gets instantly triple teamed

it's not as simple as just putting him in the post.

Shaq thinks the NBA is like it was when he was in his prime years, when zone defense was illegal and it was easy as fuck to take guys 1 on 1....

The NBA now is a whole new beast, and defenses are far more complex and it's easier to shut post players down with that zone.
